	Mitch Albom - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mitch Albom is also part of a rock band, The Rock Bottom Remainders, whose members are all published writers.
		Albom was the center of a journalistic controversy in April 2005.
		Mitch Albom stirred controversy once again in an October 2006 column in which he dismissed allegations that Detroit Tigers pitcher Kenny Rogers had used pine tar in the palm of his pitching hand by stating he had 'shaken Kenny Roger's hand after the game and there was not sticky substance on it'.

	Furst Draft: Mitch Albom
		Albom wrote a column during the NCAA's March Madness (copyrighted term) in which he said a couple of athletes attended a game; the column was written as if the guys were there.
		Albom was appropriately criticized and suspended while editors reviewed the problem and looked at his other work, to determine whether this was part of a bigger ethics problem.
		While there is certainly always reason to suspect professional jealousy in cases of disproportionate success such as that of Mitch Albom, and it's concommitant sour grapes response from some colleagues, it seems to me that the journalism and media communities have shown remarkable restraint in their treatment of Albom.

	USATODAY.com - Will Albom's woes taint journalism? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Mitch Albom, the celebrated Detroit Free Press sports columnist who has been suspended for fudging facts in a recent piece, has a bigger name as one of the nation's best-selling authors.
		Albom's celebrity — Oprah Winfrey has praised his books — has also raised the question of whether his editors gave him more leeway than others because of his star status.
		Now, with the Albom case, the question of whether high-profile columnists are treated with kid gloves "is the kind of question that is probably being asked rhetorically and specifically by every major newspaper in the country," says Bob Steele, who teaches ethics at the Poynter Institute, a Florida-based school for journalists.

		Mitch Albom, one of Detroit’s most prominent figures, is a one-man multimedia entity as a nationally known sports columnist, radio and TV personality, best-selling author and playwright.
		Albom is making news rather than reporting it, under suspension from the Detroit Free Press until the newspaper completes an investigation of a fabrication in an Albom column that ran last Sunday.
		Albom’s fabrication of the events is similar in the fact that his story wouldn’t have lost much, if any, luster if he had written that the former MSU players planned to attend or wished to attend that game (as pointed out previously in this forum).

	Reading Group Guide \| TUESDAY'S WITH MORRIE by Mitch Albom
		Adept at juggling phone calls, faxes, interviews, problems, often it seems while driving too fast to another appointment on an overloaded docket, Mitch has a wonderful wife but no time to spend with her, a beautiful house on a hill, a stock portfolio, and a brother he hasn't talked to in years.
		Reaction: The success and the pressure that kept Mitch too busy and preoccupied to keep in touch with his mentor, enable him to gain a substantial advance for Tuesdays with Morrie, thus relieve this anxiety in Morrie and offer some financial assurance to Morrie's wife.
